The genial owner, Edward Gaffey, made them welcome and opened hospitable doors to many friends. The few Grand Army men left to us turned out, true to the colors, as ever, as well as their associates, and the Legion. A Medford girl read the Ride of Paul Revere; America and Star Spangled Banner were sung, and the mayor made the brief address which we present. Then the rider started, and was followed to Lexington by the fifty-nine Minute Men with their old guns and costumes, not omitting the famous rum barrel. There was a Sioux Indian chief upon his broncho (Sergeant Brewster), a feature not in Captain Hall's old command. All present houses which were there when Revere rode by were marked for the occasion with a placard by the city messenger, directed by a committee of the Historical Society. Medford did herself proud that day.
